Item 8.01 Other Events

o    Sale of Assets, Debt Restructuring and "Going Private" Transaction.

The Company is negotiating a transaction to sell six of its nine sports and
fitness complexes to an affiliate of Millennium Partners for $65.0 million.
Millennium Partners, collectively with its affiliates, is a major stockholder
and landlord at four of these Clubs. The Clubs to be sold include three
facilities located in New York City, and single Clubs in Boston, Massachusetts,
Washington D.C. and San Francisco, California. In addition, the management
agreement for the Club in Miami, Florida will be assigned to Millennium. On
February 8, 2005, the Company entered into a formal letter of intent with
Millennium. The Company expects to execute the definitive asset purchase
agreement with Millennium in October 2005. Following the sale, the Company will
continue to own and operate three Southern California Clubs.

As part of the proposed transaction, the Company intends to arrange for new
financing secured by its real property in West Los Angeles, and use a portion of
the proceeds from the asset sale and new financing to retire its outstanding
$100.0 million Senior Secured Notes.

The Company does not presently contemplate that a previously announced "going
private" transaction will be completed in connection with the sale of assets and
debt restructuring. However, following consummation of the foregoing
transactions, the Company may consider transactions to retire some of its
outstanding Common or Preferred Stock.

While the Company is actively pursuing these transactions, there can be no
absolute assurance that they will be consummated.

o    Results of Operations.

The financial statements included in the Form 10-K and 10-Q's for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and three and six months ended March 31, 2005 and June 30,
2005 include adjustments from the financial information disclosed by the Company
in press releases dated April 15, 2005, May 26, 2005 and August 22, 2005,
reporting the Company's preliminary operating results for December 31, 2004,
March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Under Emerging Issues Task Form 00-21 "Revenue Arrangement with Multiple
Events," the Company determined that the initiation fees and private training
sessions did not represent separate units of accounting. Initially during 2004
and the first six months of 2005, the Company recognized a portion of the
membership initiation fee as private training revenues since members were
granted the opportunity to utilize private training at no charge. In finalizing
its December 31, 2004, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 financial statements,
the Company determined the reporting of a portion of the initiation fees as
private training revenues was not appropriate and accordingly, reversed this
revenue in the preparation of its final financial statements.

The Company also modified the method used to allocate its interest expense
between continuing operations and discontinued operations. Previously, all
interest expense was allocated to continuing operations. In filing its final
financial statements, the Company's interest was allocated to discontinued
operations based on the interest on debt that will be required to be repaid as a
result of the asset sales in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No.
87-24 "Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations." The proceeds of $65.0
million from the proposed sale are required to be used to repay a portion of the
$100.0 million Senior Secured Notes. Accordingly, the Company has allocated to
discontinued operations 65% of the interest expense associated with the Senor
Secured Notes. For each quarterly period presented, the amount of interest
allocated to discontinued operations was $2,011,000. The impact of these changes
from the previously reported amounts are as follows ($ in thousands):
